Thoughts On My Comic

 

"Find anything you like in there?"

For the last four years, I've been writing and drawing my own webcomic. Strangely enough, this started off as a side project to a larger graphic novel I've been sitting on for some time. The comic was meant to be the filler for a particular timeskip, but circumstances decreed that this project become my full time body of work.

Every week, I drop a new comic on Fridays. I often lament that my artistic abilities in this work become compromised in the pursuit of meeting a personal deadline. Nevertheless, it's become a part of my weekly routine for the past couple of years. Life just sorts itself out around the posting of these comics.

For the most part, Treasured Guests is an idealized retelling of a childhood I would have loved to go through, with parents who like their kids and aren't burdened by their presence. It's also a chance for my characters to grow in ways I haven't been able to explore in other stories. Well, these are most of the stories I've told, as I don't really do a whole lot of writing.

If anything has presented itself as an incredible challenge, it's been the dialogue. I'm not so gifted with words the way other writers have, as I'm primarily a visual artist. One thing I'd like to do is go back and caption the comics for blind people to be able to enjoy this content. Another goal is to set up my own webcomic site independent of FurAffinity, Twitter, and other furry galleries so I can retain more personal ownership over its curation.

Anyways, I hope y'all enjoy what I've been doing and I hope to keep doing it for many more years to come.
